beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO Over-Ear Studio Monitor Headphones - Open-Back Stereo Construction, Wired (80 Ohm, Grey)

Product Information

The robust spring steel headband design ensures that the over-ear headphones also offer a secure fit. Although the 250 Ohm is clearly the winner for most listening applications, the 80 Ohm offers a lessened harsh acoustic sound. Whether you're at home or in the studio, the DT 990 Pro Headphones remain comfortable thanks to the soft velour earpads and tight-fitting headband.

Yes, you may need an amplifier for the Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO, especially if it’s the higher-impedance 250Ω version, and you can’t achieve a satisfactory volume using just your computer. The HD-600 has a noticeable “veil” in the upper mids that swallows hats, for example, but I still use them over 650s because it’s what I’m used to. Our Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphones review will now give you the finer details of the product. With an impedance of 80 Ohms, these headphones are designed for studio mixing, DJing, and high-quality music playback. This makes it an ideal choice for noisy environments or for those who prefer a private listening experience.

The Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 80 Ohm Headphone offers a robust spring steel material inside the headband. The ear cups can be tilted up to an angle of 45 degrees and therefore adapt well to your head without their mobility interfering with putting them on. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro Limited Edition 80 Ohm Closed Dynamic Headphones in Black offer unparalleled audio quality, impressive noise isolation, supreme comfort, and a stylish design. The cable is non-removable, so you won’t be able to sub in a third-party one or alternate connector.

Besides that, it has a nominal sound pressure level of 96 dB and a nominal total harmonic distortion of 0. Higher impedance headphones actually put less stress on the amplifier which will, if anything, improve sound quality (shouldn't be noticeable and barely measurable).After looking at some headphones and ignoring some and taking other advice from this audio board, I landed at an attractive deal from beyerdynamic, offering the DT 990 Pro not only in black and a good bit cheaper but also with an Impedance of 80 Ohms rather than the usual 250. Almost every headphone we test is checked by us: In addition to determining the frequency response, the heart of our measurements, we also evaluate the effects of noise that penetrates from the outside to the inside.

If you’re confused about the different versions of Beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO differentiated by impedance value, we suggest sticking with the 80 or 250-Ohm models. Beyerdynamic went to great lengths to ensure that the DT 990 Pro Headphones remained comfortable, regardless of how long you're wearing them for. The DT 990 PRO headphones are the open-back model, providing impressive spaciousness making them a reliable tool for any sound enthusiast.The Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro is renowned for its outstanding sound reproduction, delivering detailed audio across all frequencies. I enjoy the heck out of my DT-990s and DT-1770s, but they are what I would describe as “characterful” in the low end — at least coming from Sennheisers. If you want headphones that block out noise, then you’ll need a pair of closed-back headphones or noise canceling headphones. The Beyerdynamic have a crisp clarity that makes everything, especially vocals, sound like tubular bells being hit by crystal wine glasses, but really lack bass, even with an amp.
